Seriously…I know someone who’s first thought on fixing electrical devices is to ‘just let it rest.’. What if Emmett the fix it guy on the Andy Griffith show in Mayberry fixed all of his customer’s appliances that way? Once his secret got out I think he’d be pretty much out of business since we can all try to just let that broken radio or toaster rest for awhile before using them again. Old Emmett would be out of business fast. And wouldn’t it be easy if just letting our computer rest would do the job. Windows machines would finally be worth owning again! Ok, seriously though…while letting things rest actually can be of some benefit from time to time, we all know it’s not a good long term solution or a good plan of action for most sizeable or urgent issues. The best thing it might do is let an overheated motor cool down or it might let your head and nerves cool down so that you can go away, think calmly and come back with a good plan of action.
